Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 16 Tang Xuewu, What Qualifications Do You Have to Help!

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Tang Xuewu, What Qualifications Do You Have to Help!

Qin Long leaned on his crutch, his tone utterly serious. "None of that is important. I just want you to get back to normal and be able to take care of yourself. That way, I can relax a little too."

Tang Xuewu sighed helplessly, appearing somewhat despondent.

Qin Long said no more and quietly stroked Tang Xuewu’s hair, etching her thoughts into his heart.

After settling him in his room with some food and water, Tang Xuewu returned to her company. Meanwhile, Qin Long watched the distant sky in silence, lost in thought.

He was alone at home. Both Tang Xuewu and her father, Tang De, worked at the Tang family’s enterprise. Zhang Meilan is probably at the mahjong parlor again, having the time of her life. A cleaner hired by the Tang family handled the household trash.

"Well, well, you stupid cripple. What are you thinking about?" a voice suddenly broke the silence.

Qin Long looked up slightly to see the speaker. It was a woman in her fifties with sharp, phoenix-like eyes and a fierce countenance.

"Come on, you idiot. Take this trash out to the cart for me," she said proudly, pointing at a black trash bag nearby. "I’ll reward you with a few slaps later."

Afterward, she even started a live stream, a smirk on her face.

Qin Long’s expression turned icy. This woman was the cleaner hired by the Tang Family. Ever since she discovered Qin Long was a "good-for-nothing," she had frequently forced him to do chores and live-streamed it online, becoming a minor internet celebrity and earning a fair bit of money. Cleaning was her job, but she pawned it off on him.

"The cleaning company pays you, yet this is how you do your job," Qin Long said, looking at the woman coldly. "You’re truly shameless."

WHOOSH!

The woman shot up from a nearby recliner, staring at Qin Long in shock. What the hell? This guy isn’t a fool anymore?

"Aren’t you a stupid cripple?" she asked, warily shutting off her live stream and backing away a few steps.

"Does being a ’stupid cripple’ give you the right to torment me as you please?" Qin Long’s voice grew impossibly cold.

The woman flinched back in fear before letting out a cold laugh. "Who are you trying to scare? Let me tell you, it was Zhang Meilan who told me to do this. You’re the one who’s crippled and stupid, so how can you blame anyone else?"

She crossed her arms, scoffing as she dragged the black trash bag outside.

So it was Zhang Meilan. That venomous woman...

"If there’s a next time, you will die without a burial place."

Hearing his words, the woman’s body trembled, and she froze. She felt as if a ferocious beast were watching her, and she began to shake uncontrollably.

Qin Long’s aura is too overpowering!

"Die without a burial place? What’s a lame dog like you got to be arrogant about?" she retorted, recovering her nerve. "I’m standing right here! What can you do to me?" She threw the trash bag on the ground and glared coldly at Qin Long.

"Is Mr. Qin Long in?" a voice suddenly called from outside the door. Then, Zhao Ruoying walked in cautiously.

"My, it’s President Zhao! What wind has blown you our way?" the cleaner immediately groveled upon seeing Zhao Ruoying. She knew her own boss had to bow and scrape before this woman. Rumor even had it that Zhao Ruoying was the real power behind her company.

Zhao Ruoying’s brow furrowed. "What are you doing here?" she asked, puzzled.

"President Zhao, I asked this cripple to help me take out the trash, and this kid threatened to kill me!" the woman cried, pointing an accusing finger at Qin Long. "Do you think he’s gone mad?"

"What did you say? You made *him* take out the trash?" Zhao Ruoying’s expression turned frigid, her voice sharp with anger.

"I was just trying to do something good for him, help him get some exercise..." the woman explained hastily, sensing Zhao Ruoying’s rage.

"Are you insane? Do you have any idea whose hands these are? These are the hands of the Medical Immortal who saved my daughter’s life!" Zhao Ruoying clenched her fists, her teeth gritted.

"President Zhao..." The woman was completely bewildered.

"Even if he weren’t the Medical Immortal, you still have no right to treat him this way. I see your uniform is from the Clean and Neat Cleaning Company, correct? Pack your things and get out immediately. You’re fired," Zhao Ruoying said, her voice like ice. She then pointed at the woman and slapped her across the face.

"President Zhao, please, no! My whole family of three depends on my income! Please give me another chance!" The woman immediately began bowing repeatedly, begging for mercy.

"Learn to be a decent person before you worry about your job." With a wave of her hand, Zhao Ruoying had her guards drag the woman out.

"Mr. Qin, I apologize that you had to witness that," Zhao Ruoying said, nodding apologetically to Qin Long. "That employee was from a cleaning company I recently acquired. As the owner, the responsibility is mine."

"It has nothing to do with you." Qin Long gestured for Zhao Ruoying to follow him into the main hall.

"Mr. Qin, President Su told me you’ve already signed for the car," Zhao Ruoying said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"So, you were the one who bought it." Qin Long was surprised at first, then smiled faintly. He had just saved Zhao Ruoying’s daughter, so a sports car worth fifty million was nothing to her.

"Mr. Qin, this is just a token of the Zhao Family’s gratitude," Zhao Ruoying said quickly, afraid he might get angry. "Besides, it will make things more convenient for you."

"Very well. It’s a thoughtful gift," Qin Long replied with a faint smile. Saving Zhao Xiaotong’s life was like granting her a new one. A sports car worth less than a hundred million was trivial in comparison. If he feigned politeness, they would likely only grow more anxious.

"I originally intended to tell you, but Xiaotong wanted it to be a surprise, so I didn’t say anything," Zhao Ruoying explained. "That’s why I came over personally to let you know."

She then called out to the guards behind her, and several of them carried in a black wheelchair.

"I happen to know the CEO of a high-tech company that designed this advanced wheelchair. I thought it might be useful since you’re temporarily inconvenienced, so I ordered one. Would you like to try it?" Zhao Ruoying personally pushed the wheelchair over to him.

Qin Long glanced at her. This woman is certainly meticulous.

"Thank you. You are very thoughtful." The offer was timely, as he was in fact in need of a wheelchair.

"You’re too kind, Mr. Qin. You are the Zhao Family’s savior. This is nothing. Also, regarding the next acupuncture session, when would you be available? My precious daughter slept wonderfully last night. You truly are a Medical Immortal!" Zhao Ruoying’s eyes were filled with respect.

"In three days," Qin Long said slowly while testing the wheelchair.

"Excellent. I will come to pick you up then, Mr. Qin. I’ve left my business card on the wheelchair. Please feel free to call on me for anything you need."

Zhao Ruoying gave a deep, respectful bow and then turned to leave. Having accomplished her goal, there was no reason to linger.

「The Tang Family Mansion.」

At that moment, all the core members of the Tang Family were gathered in the main hall.

"Spectacular news! The Zhao Family’s Yaolong Group has expressed interest in a partnership with us!"

"This is all thanks to Miss Tang Chuchu’s efforts!"

"She must be rewarded handsomely!"

The Tang family was ecstatic. The Yaolong Group was a titan in Jiangzhong, and its head, Mrs. Zhao, was a figure so powerful that a stomp of her foot could make the entire city tremble. If they could latch onto this powerful connection, the Tang family would surely ascend to the ranks of a first-class family.

Tang Xuewu also considered this matter of great importance and hurried toward the hall.

"Wait!" Tang Chuchu pulled her aside just as she was about to step through the main doors.

"Tang Xuewu, what are you doing here?" Tang Chuchu sneered with disdain.

"I’m here to help with the collaboration between the Tang and Zhao families, of course," Tang Xuewu stated immediately.

"You? You think you’re qualified to help?" Tang Chuchu spat dismissively, her face a mask of arrogance. "I’m the one who brought this opportunity. Zhao Xiaotong and I are best friends; that’s why her family is giving me this consideration."
